TERM AND ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT; AGREEMENT TERMS GENERALLY INCLUDED.

The term of this Agreement will be either month-to-month or for a one or two year term (depending on the Service plan you select) (the "Term"). The Term begins when you accept this Agreement and ends when you or we terminate this Agreement as permitted herein. Acceptance by you of this Agreement occurs upon the earlier of: (a) your acceptance of this Agreement electronically during an online order, registration or when installing the Software or the Equipment; (b) your use of the Services; or (c) your retention of the Software or Equipment we provide beyond thirty (30) days following delivery. If you change Service plans, your Term and monthly rate may change (depending on the plan you select), but all other provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect unless otherwise noted.

This Agreement consists of the terms and conditions herein contained, as well as (a) the specific terms of your Service plan (including the plan's pricing, duration and applicable Early Termination Fee ("ETF")); (b) our Acceptable Use Policy (Addendum A); and (c) other CenturyLink policies referred to in this Agreement (including our Privacy Policy), all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

AUTHORIZED USER, ACCOUNT USE, AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

A. You acknowledge that you are eighteen (18) years of age or older and that you have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement. You agree promptly to notify CenturyLink whenever your personal or billing information changes.

B. You are responsible for all use of your Services and account, whether by you or someone using your account with or without your permission, including all secondary or sub-accounts associated with your primary account, and to pay for all activity associated with your account. You agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding your use of the Services and to only use the Services within the United States (unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement).

C. Restrictions on Use. The Service is a consumer grade service, and you may not resell the Service, use it for high volume purposes, or engage in similar activities that constitute such use (commercial or non-commercial). If you subscribe to a Broadband Service, you may connect multiple computers/devices within a single home to your modem and/or router to access the Service. You also may not exceed the bandwidth usage limitations that CenturyLink may establish from time to time for the Service, or use the Service to host any type of server. Violation of this section may result in bandwidth restrictions on your Service or suspension or termination of your Service.

D. Dial-Up Accounts. If you subscribe to CenturyLink's dial-up Internet access service ("Dial-Up Service"), your Service may be subject to log-off automatically and without notice if your account is idle for a certain period of time. An account session may be deemed to be idle if there appears to be no interactive, human generated data received from your computer system within a prescribed amount of time. Use of automatic re-dialer, script or other programs for the purpose of avoiding inactivity disconnects is a violation of this Agreement. You may only use your account for one log-on session per connection type at a time and you may not use more than one IP address for each log-on session. If your pricing plan includes an hourly usage allocation, unused hours will not carry over to another billing cycle.

E. Broadband Accounts. If you use your account to connect through a dial-up connection, you are responsible for any dial-up usage charges above any monthly dial-up allotment that may apply. Additional User IDs provided for Broadband customers' email boxes may not be used as dial-up connections.

F. Storage Availability. Certain Services have limited storage capacities and/or capabilities. CenturyLink reserves the right to delete, without prior notice, files from any directory or mailbox if the associated storage limitations are exceeded. You should contact a CenturyLink Customer Service representative to determine whether additional storage space can be obtained for a particular Service. The current storage limitations for Broadband Service are as follows:

Free personal Web space (not for commercial use): 5MB per Web site

Other Web space: 5MB per Web site unless purchased separately or supplied with your applicable Service plan

Newgroups: 5GB of downloads per month

Email: 1GB per mailbox. Read messages may be removed from servers 30 days after delivery. Unread messages may be removed from servers 60 days after delivery. Furthermore, CenturyLink reserves the right to deactivate centurylink.net email accounts that have not been accessed for a period of 120 days.

PRIVACY POLICY; LEGAL COMPLIANCE.

Personal information you provide to CenturyLink is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is posted on the CenturyLink Website and is subject to change from time to time. CenturyLink reserves the right to provide account and user information, including email, to third parties as required or permitted by law (such as in response to a subpoena or court order), and to cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of any criminal or civil matter. Such cooperation may include, but is not limited to, monitoring of the CenturyLink network consistent with applicable law. In addition, CenturyLink is required by law to report any facts or circumstances reported to us or that we discover from which it appears there may be a violation of the child pornography laws. We reserve the right to report any such information, including the identity of users, account information, images and other facts to law enforcement personnel.

AVAILABILITY OF AND CHANGES TO SERVICE.

A. Service and Bandwidth Availability and Speed. The Service you select may not be available in all areas or at the rates, speeds, or bandwidth generally marketed, and some locations may not qualify for the Service even if initial testing showed that your line was qualified. We will provision qualified HSI Service lines at the maximum line rate available to your location based on our standard line qualification procedures, unless you have selected a level of service with a lower maximum line rate. Bandwidth is provided on a per-line (not a per-device) basis. The bandwidth available to each device connected to the network will vary depending upon the number, type and configuration of devices using the Service and the type of use (e.g., streaming media), among other factors. The speed of the Service will vary based on network or Internet congestion, your computer configuration, the condition of your telephone line and the wiring inside your location, among other factors. We and our suppliers reserve the right, at any time, with or without prior notice to you, to restrict or suspend the Services to perform maintenance activities and to maintain session control.

B. Dial-Up Service Upgrade. CenturyLink, at its option, reserves the right to upgrade your existing Dial-Up Service to Broadband Service at no charge to you. If you do not wish to accept such an upgrade, you may contact CenturyLink Customer Service to revert back to Dial-Up Service.

C. Changes to your local voice telephony service. If you change your local telephone company or discontinue your local telephone service, we may in our discretion either terminate your Service or continue to provide Broadband Service without local CenturyLink voice service at the then-current rates, terms and conditions applicable to your new Service plan and you agree to pay any new or higher monthly fee that may apply to your new Service plan. If we elect to terminate your Service under this Section 6(C), then we reserve the right to charge any early termination fees and to apply the Equipment return terms under Section 9.

D. Changes to Service or Features. CenturyLink reserves the right to change any of the features, Content or applications of the Service at any time with or without notice to you. This includes the portal services we may make available as part of the Service or for an additional charge.

SOFTWARE LICENSES AND THIRD PARTY SERVICES.

A. We may provide you, for a fee or at no charge, software for use in connection with the Service which is owned by CenturyLink or its third party licensors, providers and suppliers ("Software").

You may not remove or alter any trademark, trade name, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols, or labels appearing on or in copies of the Software.

You acknowledge that this license is not a sale of intellectual property and that CenturyLink or its third party licensors continue to own all right, title and interest, including but not limited to all copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, and moral rights, to the Software and related documentation, as well as any corrections, updates and upgrades to it. The Software may be used in the United States only, and any export of the Software is strictly prohibited.

A. Prices and Fees; Billing. You agree to pay the monthly fees applicable to your Service, and to pay: (i) applicable taxes, (ii) surcharges, (iii) recovery fees, (iv) telephone charges, (v) activation fees, (vi) installation fees, (vii) set-up fees, (viii) equipment charges, (ix) ETFs, and (x) other recurring and nonrecurring charges. The taxes, fees and other charges detailed in (i) through (x) above may vary on a monthly basis. Surcharges and recovery fees are not taxes and are not required by law, but are set by CenturyLink and may change. You also agree to pay any additional charges or fees applied to your account, including interest and charges due to insufficient credit or insufficient funds. Non-recurring charges such as set up, activation and installation fees, and equipment charges, will be included in your first bill. Monthly Service recurring charges will be billed one month in advance; any usage charges will be billed in arrears. Based on your election and subject to our approval, CenturyLink or its agent will bill you directly, or bill your charge card or local CenturyLink telephone bill (where available). IF YOU ELECT TO BE BILLED ON YOUR CenturyLink PHONE BILL, BY USING THE SERVICES YOU AGREE TO HAVE ALL SERVICE CHARGES INCLUDED ON YOUR PHONE BILL. Billing for Dial-up Service will automatically begin upon registration of your account. Billing for Broadband Services will automatically begin on the date provisioning of your Broadband Service is complete ("Service Ready Date").

B. Pricing Plans with Minimum Terms. You agree to maintain your Service for the one or two year term that applies to the plan you have selected (a "Term Plan"). Your Term Plan begins on the later of: (i) the date you change your existing Broadband Service plan to a Term Plan; or (ii) your Service Ready Date. At the end of any Term Plan you may be given the option to select a new Term Plan. If you do not select a new Term Plan, your Service will automatically convert to a month-to-month Service plan at a monthly fee that may be higher than your current rate. If you select a new Term Plan, the terms of that plan will apply.

C. Discontinuation of Service for Nonpayment. We may discontinue your Service without notice if Service charges on your telephone bill or charge card are refused for any reason, or if you fail to make payment when due or to provide us with a new charge card expiration date before the existing date expires.

D. Billing Disputes. You must notify CenturyLink in writing within thirty (30) days after receiving your bill if you dispute any invoiced charge, otherwise such dispute will be deemed waived. You shall have no right to withhold, set off, or reduce any invoiced amount - whether disputed or undisputed.

E. Late Fees. If any portion of your bill is not paid by the due date, CenturyLink may charge you a late fee on unpaid balances and may also terminate or suspend your Service without notice. If your charges are billed by your CenturyLink local carrier, the late fee will be equal to the late payment charge that the local exchange carrier applies. Otherwise, the late fee will be the lesser of $5.00 per month, or the highest rate permitted by law. If CenturyLink uses a collection agency or legal action to recover monies due, you agree to reimburse us for all expenses we incur to recover such monies, including attorneys' fees.

F. Local Telephone, Toll and Long Distance Charges. CENTURYLINK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHARGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LONG DISTANCE AND METERED LOCAL OR TOLL CHARGES INCURRED WHEN YOU ACCESS THE SERVICE. YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH THE LOCAL PHONE COMPANY TO DETERMINE WHETHER A DIAL-UP NUMBER YOU HAVE SELECTED IS A LOCAL CALL FROM YOUR LOCATION AND WHETHER ANY CHARGES APPLY. CENTURYLINK DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY DIAL-UP ACCESS NUMBERS WE PROVIDE WILL BE A LOCAL CALL FROM YOUR LOCATION. ADDITIONAL CHARGES, WHICH MAY BE SUBSTANTIAL, APPLY TO REMOTE DIAL UP ACCESS, WHICH IS AVAILABLE FROM CERTAIN LOCATIONS ONLY.

G. Refundable Deposit. We may require that you provide us with a refundable deposit, which will be specified at the time of your order ("Subscriber Deposit"). We may also require an additional deposit after activation of the Service if you fail to pay any amounts when due. Within ninety (90) days after termination of your Service, we will return your Subscriber Deposit, less any unpaid amounts due on your account, including any amounts owed for unreturned or damaged Equipment. Amounts held on deposit will not accrue interest except as required by law.

Copyright Infringement/Repeat Infringer Policy. CenturyLink respects the intellectual property rights of third parties. Accordingly, you may not store any material or use CenturyLink's systems or servers in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third party intellectual property rights, including under US copyright law. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable laws, it is the policy of CenturyLink to suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the Service provided to any subscriber or account holder who is deemed to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including repeat infringers of copyrights. In addition, CenturyLink expressly reserves the right to suspend, terminate or take other interim action regarding the Service of any Subscriber or account holder if CenturyLink, in its sole judgment, believes that circumstances relating to an infringement of third party intellectual property rights warrant such action. These policies are in addition to and do not affect or modify any other rights CenturyLink may have under law or contract.

You acknowledge that CenturyLink shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pre-screen, refuse, move or remove any content available on the Service, including but not limited to content that violates the law or this Agreement.
